[SOLVED] Automated Installation

[Gortosch]

Hello,

I am currently trying to create an "Automated Installation" ISO with the article.
However, I get the error message “The source ISO file is not able to be installed automatically. Please try a more current one.” after executing

sudo proxmox-auto-install-assistant prepare-iso --fetch-from iso --answer-file ./answer.toml ./proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso

I am using the official ISO proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso.

What am I doing wrong? Thank you very much.


With kind regards
Sven

Hey,

could you run sha256sum proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso and check if it matches the checksum on [1]? Also, you don't need sudo for this, but that shouldn't matter.

The output should look like this

d99d182a0df4ba94c27668d3e33d14cc286d775a7bdf571a86c24ea522009e93  proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso

Hello Hannes,

thank you for your quick reply. I only used sudo for a test. (The famous straw)

sha256sum proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso
d99d182a0df4ba94c27668d3e33d14cc286d775a7bdf571a86c24ea522009e93  proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso

The hash seems to fit.

Best regards,
Sven

think you missed the path to the iso file.. according to the command it should be like this "prepare-iso /path/to/source.iso" in your case it would be

sudo proxmox-auto-install-assistant prepare-iso /path/to/proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso --fetch-from iso --answer-file ./answer.toml

Hello,

I have already tried that too.

~/shares/iso$ proxmox-auto-install-assistant prepare-iso ./proxmox-ve_8.2-1.iso --fetch-from iso --answer-file ./answer.toml
The source ISO file is not able to be installed automatically. Please try a more current one.

Or have I misunderstood you?

 

[Gortosch]

It works. The ISO was on a share drive. That must not be the case. I copied the ISO locally and it worked immediately. Many thanks to all of you.

Thanks to the Proxmox team for making this feature possible.

I was wondering if it is possible to use the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) obtained from option 81 of the DHCP. Is this already implemented? If not, would it be added as a feature request?

For example:

[global
…
fqdn = "from-dhcp"
timezone = “from-dhcp”
…

Additionally, another alternative is to use option 12 for the hostname and option 15 for the domain. This would avoid the need for a split function, making it easier to create a config template. Option 101 could also be helpful for the timezone.
